Janské Lázně Spa is situated in Giant Mountains National Park, below Černá hora (1299 m), in a valley of Úpa river, Hradec Králové Region, in an altitude of 670 metres above sea level. Warm spring, welling up at slope of Černá hora, is probably known since 1006. Preserved written notices come of 1300. Anyway, first spa buildings started to be built since 1677, under support of Adolf Schwarzenberg, taken as a founder of this spa.
